Photo Rants & Raves

You know what's been frustrating me for the past year or two since I've been active in Chictopia? It's the photo quality issue. I only have a simple Sony digital camera that usually takes blurry pictures... Well, blurry if you compare it to a DSLR. My really good photos (those that get into the Style Gallery of Chictopia or those that get lots of faves) are those that have been taken by a pro camera. This makes me really want to invest in a good camera. I'm seriously considering it. :)

The photo below is one of those pro ones... Taken by a fashion photographer (who's only 18). His name's Bjorn. Some of you may know that my friend Kristen (http://happycache.tumblr.com) and I own an online store, Paperbag Vintage. So the picture below is actually one of the shots for our latest collection. I guess its sort of color-blocking inspired, in a way, since its purple and bright yellow. If the pants were more on the bright purple side, then they probably would've been more on the color blocking side. We'll see from the votes, comments, and faves on Chictopia (for this post) if the photo quality really influences. Lets wait and see. :)

Speaking of which, I'd like to commend my partner Kristen's latest Chictopia upload! She just made the cover of Chictopia! We styled the outfit together! Plus, the location and her pose with the bike is just sooo unique and awesome, you'd think she was an actual biker chick! Here's the photo:
